I was having lunch with Marcus, a friend/colleague, and he made the comment that the updates had become less and less frequent these days, which he assumed meant there wasn't much to report, i.e no news is good news. He's right I suppose.

An excuse for a trip to Brisbane later this month I think.

Another three months till haematology want to see me. We both had the 'flu some weeks back and I started getting night sweats (classic #1 symptom of lymphoma) but my bloods are all fine so it was probably associated with the 'flu, which was the worst either of us could remember. Still, we live in fear...

I continue to go to pain clinic. They have given me an option of another course of Ketamine infusions but things seem pretty settled at present so I'll hold off unless things worsen. I have been getting leg cramps at night and they prescribed quinine for that (and to clear up any malaria I might have picked up) but it just made me drowsy (-ier) so I've gone back to diet tonic water.

House is back on the market.... Don't hold your breath.

Saul is currently in Hong Kong and China for 10 days or so. Doing some sightseeing with a Hong Kong friend of his. Sends the occasional text when coverage permits, and emails us, but the texts have more text in them than the emails do.
